From the "Ten Types of Female Nudes" (Rajo jusshu) series, this print bears the subtitle "At the Bath" (Yokushitsu nite), placing the nude figure within the specific domestic setting of a Japanese bathroom. Ishikawa Toraji renders the bathing woman with careful attention to the effects of water and steam on the body, using the woodblock technique to suggest the warm, enclosed atmosphere of the bathing room. The series systematically explored different contexts for the nude, and the bathroom setting provided one of the most naturalistic, connecting the unclothed body to a routine activity rather than to mythological or artistic convention.
